Receiving and Storage
Upon receipt of the equipment, check carton for visible
damage. Make a notation on the shipper’s delivery
ticket before signing. If there is any evidence of rough
handling, the cartons should be opened at once to check
for concealed damage. If any damage is found, notify
the carrier within 48 hours to establish your claim, and
request their inspection and a report. The Warranty
Claims Department should then be contacted.
Do not stand or transport the machines on end. For
storing, each carton is marked with “up” arrows.
In the event that elevator transfer makes upended
positioning unavoidable, absolutely insure that the
machine is in the normal upright position for at least 24
hours before operating.
Temporary storage at the jobsite must be indoors,
completely sheltered from rain, snow, etc. High or
low temperatures naturally associated with weather
patterns will not harm the conditioners. Excessively high
temperatures of 140°F (60°C) may deteriorate certain
plastic materials and cause permanent damage. In
addition, the solid-state circuit boards may experience
operation problems.
Note: Care should be taken when handling this equipment.
Rough handling can create damage to internal electri
-
cal and refrigeration components.
IMPORTANT
This product was carefully packed and thoroughly inspected
before leaving the factory. Responsibility for its safe delivery
was assumed by the carrier upon acceptance of the
shipment. Claims for loss or damage sustained in transit
must therefore be made upon the carrier as follows:
VISIBLE LOSS OR DAMAGE
Any external evidence of loss or damage must be noted
on the freight bill or carrier’s receipt, and signed by the
carrier’s agent. Failure to adequately describe such external
evidence of loss or damage may result in the carrier’s
refusal to honor a damage claim. The form required to file
such a claim will be supplied by the carrier.
CONCEALED LOSS OR DAMAGE
Concealed loss or damage means loss or damage which
does not become apparent until the product has been
unpacked. The contents may be damaged in transit due
to rough handling even though the carton may not show
external damages. When the damage is discovered upon
unpacking, make a written request for inspection by the
carrier’s agent within fifteen (15) days of the delivery date
and file a claim with the carrier.
Pre-Installation
WARNING
The installer must determine and follow all applicable
codes and regulations. This equipment presents hazards
of electricity, rotating parts, sharp edges, heat and weight.
Failure to read and follow these instructions can result in
property damage, severe personal injury or death. This
equipment must be installed by experienced, trained
personnel only.
General:
Units must be installed in accordance with all applicable
codes.
To prevent damage, this equipment should not be
operated for supplementary heating and cooling during
the construction period.
Inspect the carton for any specific tagging numbers
indicated by Daikin per a request from the installing
contractor. At this time, the voltage, capacity and model
should be checked against the plans.
Check the unit size against the plans to be sure that the
unit will be installed in the correct location.
Units should be kept in shipping carton until installed.
At the time the unit is to be placed in its final position
and only then should the carton be removed. Retain
the carton and cut away one side and bottom. Take the
remaining portion of the carton and place it over the unit.
This will insure the unit is protected from paint spotting,
dirt, dust and lint that can affect proper unit operation,
and will also prevent needless cleaning adding to
installation cost.
The installing contractor will find it beneficial to confer
with other contractors; i.e., plumbing, electrical, pipe
fitters, etc., before installing any conditioners.
Remove the front panel by removing a screw on each
side of the cabinet at the subbase.
All piping and electrical wiring should be flexible so that
vibrations are not transmitted to the building structure.
Ensure all electrical connections are in place and tight.
Locate the unit in an area that allows easy removal
or accessibility for service personnel to perform
maintenance and repair.
If units are placed on a concrete floor or other hard
surface, it is recommended that the floor be free from
all construction debris that may add to the operating
noise level of the unit. It is recommended that the unit
be placed on rubber matting to prevent distortion and/or
vibration.
